Question

Factor completely. x2−10x−24 Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

x^2−10x−24 = (x - 12)(x + 2)

hope it helps

Answer 2

`\text{The factors are }(x-12)\thinspace and\thinspace (x+2)`

Explanation:

Given the equation
`x^2-10x-24`

we have to find the factors of the above equation.

Equation:
`x^2-10x-24`.

Numbers -12 and 2 gives multiplication -24 and addition -10

`x^2-10x-24\\\\x^2-12x+2x-24\\\\x(x-12)+2(x-12)\\\\\text{Taking factor (x-12) common}\\(x-12)(x+2)`

Hence,

`x^2-10x-24=(x-12)(x+2)`

`\text{The factors are }(x-12)\thinspace and\thinspace (x+2)`
